Default A few shark shots

Hi, first post on the website, so be gentle with me!

I logged on because I used to keep a lot of reptiles in the 80's and 90's, and I like to still see what's being bred.
I don't have the time anymore, but I do a bit of underwater photography, so I thought I'd share a few pics.

These were all taken in the bahamas;

caribbean reef shark




tiger shark



great hammerhead



tiger and lemon shark



I hope you like them. I have a few more if anyone would like to see them.

Dave

Cor your brave!!! I was just watching a programme on Sunday about the ferociousness of the bull and the tiger shark and how unpredictable they can be.

I'm glad people like them.

I'm using a Nikon D70 in an Ikelite housing, with twin strobes. The problem with shooting underwater is that the strobes are only effective over a distance of about 1.5m, so you have to get quite close:
